Eric, I sold my very very nice but very very heavy 2001 GX EFI, so my "weekend car" is gone.
VERY nice car that, but I must say, I have'nt really missed it.
So - I'm using this Hiluxie as a sort of "interim" weekend car..........but the more I use it, the less I know what should actually replace this now.
What other car can take me to work and back (I dont use my platkar on that farm road) during the week, lets you launch the boat Friday afternoon, lets you shoot a blesbokkie Saturday, fishing again on Sunday, go pick up parts on Monday, and takes 7 drivers to Kempton Park on Wednesday...........at an average of 8 km/litre??
Yes, sure - a new 2,8 Lux can also do that. At almost R 600 000. Or a mint Legend 45 at R 400 000. Or a not so mint D4D at R 300 000.
This Luxie does it all - at R 90 000. AND it has that "feel". AND my daughter can use it in her Matric year (2017), and Jomar in his one (2018). Ek kan nie dat hulle elke dag nuwe Polo's middeldeur ry op daai plaaspad nie.
Lyk of ek al laaaaankal ryk is, so hy't baie status ook
